Governor Roy Cooper has extended a state deadline for student immunizations and health assessments.
The order extends, but doesn't waive, proof-of-immunization and health assessment documentation deadlines. The extension goes for students in all K-12 schools (public and private), childcare facilities, colleges and universities, students in remote learning and homeschooled students.
The 30-day grace period begins on October 1. After November 1, children can be excluded from school if they aren't up to date on immunizations.
Please call your health care provider or county health department for an appointment.

RCS has received a lot of questions about Middle School Athletics. Our school and athletic Administrators have met and decided that, for now, there will be no RCS MS sports workouts until we know for sure whether there will be a sports season for middle school teams and what the other schools in our conference plan to do. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding.

RCS parents, please check your email or go to the RCS Reopening plan on the website -- http://roxboronc.apptegy.us/o/roxboro-community-school/page/rcs-reopening-plan -- for important information about school reopening. There is a survey we need you to complete by Monday, 7/27.
As of today, Governor Cooper still has not made a decision regarding the reopening of schools this fall. RCS STILL PLANS TO WAIT ON HIS GUIDANCE AND DECISION.
In an effort to keep everyone informed, we have listed a brief explanation of what each plan will look like at RCS this fall. The decision on which plan will be used will be made after the governor makes his decision, and the State Board of Education provides input on school openings.
Plan A - This requires minimal social distancing and allows 100% of our students to attend campus daily. At RCS, this would be a normal school day with some social distancing.
Plan B - This requires moderate social distancing and allows only 50% of our students to attend campus at any given time. Below is Plan B for RCS:
Monday-Tuesday: ½ of our MS and HS students attend campus. The other ½ of MS and HS students will use remote learning.
Wednesday - Deep cleaning of the entire building. All students - remote learning. Thursday-Friday: ½ of MS and HS students attend campus (the students who used remote learning on Monday and Tuesday). The group who attended campus on Monday and Tuesday will remain at home and use remote learning. Students will eat lunch in their classrooms. Temperature checks and illness screenings will be provided for all students and staff as well as anyone entering the building. Students and staff will be required to wear a mask.
Plan C - Students will not be permitted to attend campus. All learning will be remote.
Once the governor decides which reopening plan to use and the State Board of Education provides guidance, we will communicate the details of that particular plan with everyone.
